The Shannon Matthews abduction case

Posted by North Wales Weekly News team on April 16, 2008 3:21 PM

By Judith Phillips, Reporter

So it looks as though the mum of nine-year-old Shannon Matthews may have been telling porkies all along when she reported her daughter missing and gave repeated press conferences pleading for her safe return.

Today, Karen Matthews appeared in court in Leeds via video link to face charges of child neglect and perverting the course of justice; the second charge states "she repeatedly concealed information" relating to her daughter's whereabouts. She was remanded in custody to go on trial on November 11.

Apathy vs democracy

Posted by North Wales Weekly News team on April 10, 2008 11:56 AM

By Steve Stratford, Deputy Editor

The news that the British National Party has secured an automatic foot-hold in three seats on Colwyn Bay Town Council came as a shock to some this week.

In the Rhos ward, there are five vacancies to be filled, but only four candidates, which means there is no need for an election and all four candidates will secure their seats automatically. The same goes in neighbouring Dinarth, where there are three vacancies and three candidates - again, no need for a vote. And on Wednesday, two candidates withdrew from Eirias ward, leaving three vacancies filled automatically, one by the BNP.
